When someone's core body temperature is dropping, what is oftentimes the most obvious indicator that they have transitioned from mild to moderate hypothermia.

Respuesta :

The most obvious indicator of going from mild to moderate hypothermia is that shivering stops.

Hypothermia occurs as the temperature drops below normal levels. In humans, hypothermia is experienced if the temperature is below 36°C. Moreover, hypothermia is classified into:

  • Mild hypothermia.
  • Moderate hypothermia.
  • Severe hypothermia.

Each of these types is related to specific symptoms and therefore their treatment is slightly different.

In the case of moderate hypothermia, the symptoms include:

  • Slower heartbeat and breathing.
  • Lack of coordination.
  • Fatigue

This type differs from mild hypothermia (previous stage) because in mild hypothermia the person shivers but in moderate shivering stops.
